Multiple Issues on Visual Studio 2022 and No Way To Give Feedback

I have encountered multiple broken items and bugs in the latest Visual Studio 2022 update, BUT the "Report A Problem..." is ALSO broken, so I am not sure what to do.

When I click on "Report A Problem..." I go to a Microsoft Developer Community webpage that just has one button "Sign In". If I click it is seems to just hang on "Signing in...". If I click on "Sign in" on the top right of the page (and select my account), I get an error "Disconnected from Visual Studio", with only the option to "Launch without Visual Studio". If I click that, I just get a new page that tells me to click on the "Report a Problem..." button in Visual Studio!

Good way to reduce the bug feedback on your products, make it impossible for the user to send that feedback!

(BTW, Don't recommend me to reinstall Visual Studio - that has never fixed any issues).

    You may navigate to Visual Studio Community website and click Report a problem and select the product and you will need to login with Microsoft Account to report the problem. There is no need to use Visual Studio.

    In case, there is error with login to the website, try login with InPrivate browsing mode.

    The website is:

    Hi @NickS, 

    Welcome to Microsoft Q&A!

    Please try to remove the folder: C:\Program Files (x86)\Microsoft Visual Studio\Installer. Then, re-download the bootstrapper file from the following Microsoft Site and run it as administrator.

    https://visualstudio.microsoft.com/downloads/ 

    Then, try to report a problem from Visual Studio Installer by selecting Provide Feedback icon > Report a problem.

    Sincerely,

    Anna
